| Résumé: | The ‘Bureau for Jewish Studies' set up in rue Vauban in Lyons in 1941
is a relatively little known example of the spiritual resistance under the
Vichy Government. An informal grouping of intellectuals, publishers,
senior civil servants, etc., it comprised mainly Jews but also non-Jews who
had all been driven from their posts and who subsequently had become
united through the furthering of their collective interest in the history of the
Jews and Judaism. The members of this group found a means to preserve
their dignity in a particular form and framework of intellectual exchange.
The ‘Bureau for Jewish Studies' deserves the attention of all historians of
the Shoah. |
